Change password from external interface (rest API) forcing user to change password at next logon

[vishalagrawal1]

changePassword  REST API forcing user to change password on next login via external facing application.

When user changes self-password through this external application (i.e. via changePassword REST API of Saviynt, the attribute pwdLastSet in Active Directory is being set to 0 (i.e. the checkbox "User must change password on next logon" is being changed to ON/TRUE).

This forces the user to change the password again, even when user changed their own password. This is undesired and gives a bad user experience. 

The desired behavior is to not force the user to change their AD account password when changePassword REST API is invoked for the user
